failed, only managed 290km's very sad, had hoped to manage more, but with flying to broome, and weather against me as well as family commitments it just didn't happen, plus side, i managed 1060km's for the month, so happy i reached my 1000km month goal!

Got mine done depite the Perth heat, night rides were the go but the final 45km on new yeras eve were done 'Death Valley' style, average temp was 39oC . My first Festive 500 and very happy I completed it, on my CX bike too.

I don't know last years numbers but the ladies put in a good effort on this years challenge, of the 751 who signed up 234, so far as there is still a day or two to upload your rides, completed the challenge!There were 2 who completed 1000ks.

Just got mine in the post. Happy memories came flooding back, especially of it ending. I'm thinking about adding it and a few others I've picked up along the way to my old scout blanket if I can find it.
